Best Cases in Biological Medicine #4
Forward: Biological medicine works. The purpose of this series is to present
il ustrative cases from different practitioners in order to demonstrate the
highly effective principles and practice of Biologic Medicine. If you have
cases which have teaching value for others using Biological Medicine in
practice, please email them in Word format to Dr. David I. Minkoff M.D. at
drminkoff@bodyhealth.com. They wil be presented each month as part of
the Best Cases in Biological Medicine series.
CR is a 56 year old College Professor who came to us with a 15 year
history of microadenoma of the pituitary, depression, dizziness, fatigue,
obesity, digestive problems, asthma, severe joint pain with inability to walk
up stairs, and bleeding gums. Her past medical history included HSV,
migraines, bunionectomy, fundal placation, appendectomy, and
cholecyctectomy. Her current meds included Parlodel, Al egra, Astelin nasal
spray, Guafenisin, Premarin, Synthroid, Ventolin, and Zoloft. She was also
taking multivits, Calcium, L lysine, and vitamin C.
Pertinent physical exam findings showed a chronical y il appearing obese
female who appeared much older than her stated age, with pale color and
prominent facial acne. Oral temperature 94 F. BP 110/60.
Her abdominal area was quite cold to the touch and damp with mild
distention. She had 10 amalgam fil ings, root canals at 8,9,10 and
extracted teeth at 1,2,16,17,32. Upper and lower gums showed extensive
mercury tattooing and easy bleeding. She had prominent facial acne on her
ART exam showed regulation blocked by root canal toxin and she was
switched. She localized to her pituitary with high mercury concentrations
My working diagnosis was that her pituitary adenoma, digestive problems,
and generalized autonomic disregulation were due to the root canals and
We treated her switching with procaine, traumeel and pleo nig to ten scars.
She was sent to a Biological Dentist and she had al three
Root canals extracted along with 3 other dead teeth (7,12,31).
This was fol owed by IV DMSO and procaine and segmental treatments of
DMSO and procaine over her liver and pancreas.
Al of her mercury fillings were replaced.
Urinary levels of growth hormone, cortisol, T3 and T4, DHEA,
Testosterone, estriol and estradiol were al very low. Serum TSH was less
than 0.01. Serum amino acids, RBC minerals, and essential fatty acids
Her treatment plan included substituting Armour Thyroind for Synthroid, a
full mercury detox program was done using Metal Free and supplements,
and she was placed on an organic Zone type diet. Hormone replacements
were given with hydrocortisone 5 mg am and noon, Biest cream with
testosterone and DHEA, and Trans d tropin cream.
She was given three times a week IV therapy with Meyers cocktail with
pleo muc, pleo nig, coenzyme comp, ubiquinone, cerebrum comp,
hypothalamus D6 for 3 months. She received UVBI weekly for 6 weeks. A
full gut restoration program was done including weekly colon hydrotherapy.
Mineral, fatty acid and amino acid supplements were given to correct
deficiencies. Papimi treatments were given daily to her pituitary, thyroid,
adrenals and al painful joint areas. Over the first few weeks, she was
weaned off al of her prior prescription medicines.
Within 2 months she was “ so much better.”
Joint pain gone. Able to walk up stairs without pain and rapidly.”
Six months later, she completed her mercury detox program. Her weight
was now 151 pounds. She looked like she had shed 20 years. She felt and
looked terrific. Her facial blemishes were gone. Sleep and energy were
excel ent. Brain MRI showed normal pituitary with no signs of adenoma.
Her al ergic and asthmatic symptoms were gone. Her fatigue was gone.
Her digestion was normal and she had easy daily bowel movements.
Her only medication was Armour 3 grains per day and supplements. She
This is not a miracle case. This is Biological Medicine in action.
Pituitary microadenomas are general y intrasel ar, intrapituitary benign
tumours of less than 10 mm in diameter. They usual y secrete prolactin,
but may also be ACTH secreting resulting in Cushings Disease or GH
secreting resulting in acromegaly. Clinical y, these tumors usual y present
as endocrine syndromes based on which hormones are being secreted. The
diagnosis is made by MRI where the microadenoma is best seen after
gadolinium injection since the pituitary tissue enhances, due to the
absence of a bloodbrain barrier, while the adenoma remains hypodense.
Etiology according to the textbooks is uncertain or genetic.
I believe that this is a case of pituitary and systemic disease primarily due
to dental related toxicity. Root canal teeth, with infectious toxins, in the
upper midline (8,9,10), and dead teeth (7,12,31), in addition to mercury
leakage out the upper molars as seen by gum tattoos, could have easily
penetrated the pituitary gland and caused toxic adenomatous changes. For
the 15 years prior to seeing us, her tumor and hyper-prolactinemia had
been treated “successfully” with Parlodel, a dopamine receptor agonist,
that also blocks prolactin secretion. Unfortunately, the cause of her
pituitary problem was considered idiopathic and nothing was done to
correct it. It appears that the continued toxic effects of the combination of
high levels of mercury, root canal toxins, and foci from dead teeth, and
perhaps the toxic effects of her subsequent pharmacologic therapies,
progressed to a significant pituitary insufficiency manifested by low levels
of TSH and GH and adrenal insufficiency.
Due to her increasing arthritic pain, weakness, asthma, and depression,
her physicians required the addition of more and more drugs to al eviate
her symptoms. When we saw her at age 56, she was close to being
completely debilitated. I have no doubt that without proper diagnosis and
intervention, she would have succumbed completely in a short period of
Once valid diagnoses were made and her root canals, dead teeth and
mercury were corrected by the Biological Dentist, then nutrition, hormone
replacement and detoxification could al ow healing of the rest of her body.
Biological Medicine is the science of working with the laws of nature and
life to heal the body. When these principles are followed, and the patient is
compliant, and providing we are not too late, we can be successful.
Please send me your il ustrative Biological Medicine cases. I would love to
